Awaiting Spring
About this design:
I love these petal bead caps from vintaj, and wanted to use pearls since I hadn't used any in awhile. I haven't listed or really been on LB for a long time, I don't know where the time goes??? I hope you will give me your honest opinion.. :-)
Components:
coffee with cream sea pearls, bronze FW pearls, vintaj petal bead caps, dyed pink faceted agate rounds, hessonite garnets, red garnets, gold tone brass claspAdditional Images:
